Lost interrupt?

Ok,I compiled 2.4.13 kernel rebooted and this is what happened after it did its hardware check and what not

Partition check:
hde; lost interrupt
hde; lost interrupt

I am cabled to IDE 3 which is UDMA-100 hence the "hde" instead of IDE-1 or 2 (UDMA-33,66).My partition is hde3 and this has not happened with other kernels on this controller.Do I have a partition table prob?Anyone have a solution to this? Mobo is Abit KA7-100 with HPT-370 chipset.IDE-3,4 are UDMA-100.I mention all this as I feel this may be a cause of my prob.

Re: Lost interrupt?

Well, you could always try 2.4.14. It has been released. I'm seen others report the same problem with various kernel versions. Mostly with Via chipsets. Do a google search it will turn up "bunches" of hits. :P I believe it has to do with the kernel expecting an interrupt after switching DMA modes, but not getting one. I don't recall specifics.

Re: Lost interrupt?

I remember reading something about this quite a LONG time ago. It had something to do where you had to compile the kernel in ATA-66 mode and then after compilation you could switch it back to ATA-100. But I don't exactly remember all the gory details, so this is could be a fart in the wind....

This is an Athlon board with a Via chipset.I'll take another look in Bios and see if settings could be a prob and then try google.Aragorn,I understand your point but I just don't remember this happening with any other Kernel and I compile the same as always.Thanks JimH and Aragorn.Anyone else have ideas post away!
